Wrong vehicle for around here. Around here it’s the largest, ugliest, noisiest truck you can possibly get. If it is extra-polluting, that’s a bonus.
We also used to have a guy in my neighborhood who would sit in his driveway and just rev his Harley for like an hour and a half. He could get away with it because we’re outside city limits, so there are no noise ordinances. Thankfully, he no longer lives around here.
If I sleep on my stomach I can’t move my neck the next day, right side my right hand goes painfully numb, left side my left hand goes painfully numb, back both hands go numb. There is literally no position I can sleep in that I don’t wake up after a couple of hours and have to shift to a different position.
Dude, my arms kept falling asleep at night. I randomly mentioned this to my physical therapist (I was there after a knee surgery) and he put me on a massage bed and pulled my head. Not like some quack chiropractor, but just slowly pulling my head, stretching my neck. Fuckin problem went away and never returned. Closest thing to real magic I have experienced.
I didn’t, but I feel this will create more problems than it will solve
Hands are either able to freely move, but inside a narrow space, which will traumatize them and extend muscles, or they are squeezed between the chamber walls and those kind-of-filler-pillows, restraining motion.
Also, those who market it as a phone-comfortable bed clearly forget that phones and large narrow holes are a terrible combo. Oh, and for God’s sake, forget about ever eating ANYTHING on there.
First, breathing. For starters, you shouldn’t drown, for which you either have to be strongly fixed in a position with face up out of the liquid (which will be super uncomfy), or you should depend on oxygen mask (which is very dangerous when you’re unconscious during sleep)
Second, skin breathes too - and in liquids, the pores close and skin can’t breathe - which will eventually lead to hypoxia even if you breathe normally.
Third, skin gets irritated and damaged at prolonged contact (like, you know, 8 hours of sleep a day) with just about any liquid. It should be insanely inert.
Fourth - the thermal conductivity of such liquid should ideally be the same as air - too much (which is just about any liquid) would be harmful for your body’s thermal regulation and, again, for skin, too little would make you overheat.
Fifth - you need a liquid in which you can be suspended, which is impossible to precisely measure since our buoyancy constantly changes due to us breathing, and our breathing patterns change as we move between phases of sleep.
TL;DR - There’s a reason all those vats are part of sci-fi: as cool as they look, they are insanely impractical.
I’ve always wanted to be able to sleep on my side whilst hugging some kind of stuffed animal but to no avail. Ever since my SO gifted me a stuffed penguin toy that’s large enough to fit in my arms and server as a pseudo-pillow, I’ve been loving sleeping on my side and have been really comfortable doing so too. I’m the middle spoon most of the time then. :D
I bought a body pillow (without the anime girl) for the same but within days I was in immediate pain come mornings. It was probably just overstuffed but I went back to front sleeping and it immediately disappeared
I just keep rolling untill I fall asleep. Trying to sleep in a specific position is near impossible. Even the best one gets uncomfortable pretty quick. Only thing I try to avoid is sleeping on my right side as it seems to be the cause for my rhomboid pain
